Teen Arrested in Shooting Death of Another Blue Springs Teen

Jackson County authorities have arrested a 17-year-old boy in the shooting death last year of another teen inside of a Blue Springs residence.

The Kansas City Star reports that Aden Kaler of Blue Springs was arrested Friday and charged with second-degree murder, attempted robbery and armed criminal action in the Nov. 10 shooting death of 17-year-old Jayden Lockett.

Police found Lockett dead on Nov. 11 when they responded to a report of shots being fired at a Blue Springs home. Officers also found a 19-year-old with minor injuries and a 15-year-old with critical injuries.

Court records say witnesses told police that Lockett and Kaler went to the home to rob someone of money and drugs.
